Linkwood

The Linkwood Distillery was built on the outskirts of Elgin in 1821. This renowned Speysider has built a strong reputation with the blenders over the years, notably White Horse and Bell’s. In fact only 2% of the malt produced is used in single malt and until recently there was only one official 12 year old bottling. In 2008 Linkwood released three different bottlings with interesting finishes; rum, port and sweet red wine. The MO ÒR Linkwood was distilled in 1983 and offers sweetish and floral notes on the nose but develops a stout palate with lots of nutty and buttery hints.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A crate of oranges, lychee, and a hint of leather. Lavender and mint candy a bit further back.

Taste: Creamy and nutty, some biscuits and cookies appear. Also a hint of tobacco in the background.
